LIVERSEDGE produced a stunning fightback on Tuesday to grab a share of the spoils in an entertaining 4-4 draw against Heanor Town in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division.

Sedge found themselves 3-1 down after a poor first half and they appeared to be heading for a heavy defeat after conceding a fourth goal after 53 minutes.

However, Eric Gilchrist’s men refused to lie down and pulled two goals back before Keiran Corley grabbed an equaliser deep into stoppage time.
